American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is exploring new territory.
The Jeep and Ram modification
specialist has teamed up with Chevrolet to build a concept off-roader
based on the high Colorado ZR2 pickup.
The tan truck, revealed at the SEMA show in Las Vegas,
features newly-engineered suspension and driveline components that give
it a 1.5-inch lift and increase its already considerable wheel travel
while making room for 35-inch tires mounted to a set of AEV beadlock
rims.
The 2.8-liter diesel engine now breathes through a high
rise snorkel, and the truck gets added protection from AEV-designed
front and rear off-road bumpers and skid plates covering the full
underbody.
A unique grille replaces Chevy’s bowtie emblem with
CHEVROLET written across it, similar to the style used by the Ford F-150
Raptor and Toyota TRD Pro trucks. A roof-high expedition rack is
mounted to the bed, which is stuffed with a number of accessories,
including a portable ARB refrigerator. An auxiliary power, air
compressor and fresh water system is also built-in to the truck, and
accessible through a panel on the right rear fender.
